Who would like this book? Girls who are interested in finding out about the history of your families past. Also if you are going to have a quinceanera
Why? Violeta Paz does not have a normal life. Period. Her family is a misfit of domino playing, cigar smoking Cubans. Her Abuela (grandma) has decided that Voileta is going to have a quinceanera. Unfortunately for Voileta, this is bad news, considering the fact she hasn’t worn a dress since the third grade. Will the party go on? This is a comical book that will have you laughing so hard you start crying. Follow her as she discovers romance and family boundaries that she has crossed. Will the party actualy happen?
